The Chinese emperor was shocked and amazed the existence of such a wonderful creature was true and living in his garden. Immediately, he ordered the people of his court to find and bring the Nightingale to sing at court that night. He questioned the entire palace, asking each person if they knew the whereabouts of the Nightingale. Finally, a girl who worked in the kitchen was able to reveal where the Nightingale was living. That same night, the little Nightingale sang for court, leaving both the emperor and his court stunned with the beautiful performance. From that night on, the Nightingale was forced to reside in the palace.
